Ollie Palmer expected back in light training next week as Swindon Town hope target man can return ahead of schedule

Palmer has been absent for almost seven weeks with an ankle problem sustained during the clash with Port Vale at the County Ground at the start of September.

The forward suffered an ankle injury during that game, but played on and subsequently experienced considerable swelling in the area.

He has recently been involved in specialist rehabilitation work in London, alongside Harry Smith, and the results appear to be positive.
